These, and the changes necessary to avoid using GTK on Cygwin by
default, are significant changes to the configure step, so they really
need to wait until after release. I don't see any safe way to make GTK
the default for this release. Maybe we should write to the maintainers
of Emacs packages for the major GNU/Linux distributions and request that
they make GTK the default downstream. Although the figures we've seen
show that emacs-snapshot-gtk is already more popular than
emacs-snapshot, users of both of those are already going out of their
way to investigate and decide which package is best. Most users do not
have that motivation, and will still be using the "emacs" package, and
it is those users we want to get the best out of the box experience.
People who build from source are probably in the bleeding-edge category,
and will find out about --with-gtk on their own, so I don't think we
need to worry so much about them
